Having a digital programmable thermostat has been fantastic for this. We keep the house at 62°/63° in the evening, drop it to 58° from 11p-6a, then up to 62° until we leave for the day. Saves on fuel and also helps getting out of bed suck less.
62°F - 63°F ~ 17°C
58°F ~ 14°CLiving up to your username
Set your heater to kick on an hour before you get up. You get to sleep cozy in the cold and then wake up to a room where it isn’t painful to accidentally touch something metal lol.
Too bad I don’t live in modern times, I only have a wood burning fireplace to heat up my house.
It’s also the same thing I cook on in winter.
Picture for reference.
I used to live in a wood burning house growing up. Unfortunately someone has to get up and stoke the fire a bit before people wanna get up in order for the house to be warm in the morning.
I just turn the heater on when I go to bed. Room doesn’t get hot until I’m fast asleep
Put your thermostat on a timer. I have mine heat to 67 at night and raise it to 72 at 5 am. Waking up to a toasty house is amazing.
That’s way inefficient on your unit though, you’re spending more on power and working it harder than you would if you just left it at 69° and split the difference.
69 is too hot
my secret for dealing with winter mornings is a healthy collection of warm fuzzy socks. (although warm slippers work well for this too.) i always keep a pair right next to my bed so they’re waiting for me the second i get out of bed. i then put on some warm pants and maybe a robe too. it means i don’t have to choose between being in bed and being warm and cozy. i’m always warm and cozy at home.
